‘She is literally birthing the party’s future as Pierre Poilievre’s most essential adviser’: Poilievre’s campaign buoyed by top political player, Jenni Byrne

A powerhouse political campaigner who, for the most part, stays out of the public eye, Jenni Byrne wields unknown power in the Conservative Party of Canada and in its leadership race as a key adviser to Pierre Poilievre.

Jenni Byrne, pictured with Michael Wilson, left, and Brayden Akers, on April 22, 2022. The three were on their way to Sault Ste. Marie to sell more party memberships. Byrne has been credited with Poilievre's front-runner status. She is a stalwart in the Conservative Party, having worked in iterations of the party dating back to its Reform Party days. A polarizing figure even in her own party, she has delivered majority governments to both Stephen Harper and Doug Ford. Now, she's betting on Pierre Poilievre.
